PUTRAJAYA: Muhdalena Ahmad, who allegedly ran amok with a samurai-sword wielding man outside the Prime Minister's Department in July 2012, had been ordered to enter her defence over the matter.

Sessions Court judge Mohamed Kamil Nizam ruled Friday that the prosecution had raised a prima facie case for the four charges against Muhdalena.

Muhdalena, 28, is accused of committing criminal intimidation by threatening to cause grievous hurt to a policeman, possession of a sword, and two additional charges under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act 1959.

"Kpl Ridzuan (Megat Ahmad)'s testimony helped form my decision that she had threated to cause harm to the officers," said Mohamed Kamil.

"Although he (Ridzuan) was an armed policeman, but considering the accused did not stop despite being issued three warnings and instead charged at him, I understand how this could make Ridzuan fear for his life," said Judge Mohamed Kamil.

The court also found that three police officers at the scene, plus CCTV footage proved that Muhdalena had wielded a sword during the incident.

In his brief grounds, Judge Mohamed Kamil ruled that the two additional charges were proven by the fact Muhdalena had entered the PM's Department (a restricted area) without getting permission to do so.
